Root cross-section of Aeschynomene evenia infected with Aphanomyces euteiches. Mycelium is stained green.

New year, new #pathosystem!
Yes, #Aeschynomene evenia can be used as a model to study #legume_Immunity — together with #Aphanomyces euteiches, the pea grower’s worst nightmare.

Identification of genomic regions associated with partial resistance to Aphanomyces root rot in pea Natural variation in pea response to Aphanomyces root rot provides insight into the genetic basis of resistance. Molecular markers were associated with pea response to Aphanomyces root rot. New geno...
